Using 'grass clippings tea' as fertilizer is already an old method by farmers in introducing a natural and organic form of fertilizer into their plants. This is rich in nitrogen which promotes lush growth and greener leaves. This tea fertilizer is best for leafy vegetables such as pechay ( Chinese white cabbage ), lettuce, kale and other leafy veggies.
Hydroponics, by definition, is a method of growing plants in a water based, nutrient rich solution. Hydroponics does not use soil, instead the root system is supported using an inert medium such as perlite, rockwool, clay pellets, peat moss, or vermiculite. Basically, there are six types of hydroponics system as listed below.
1. Deep Water Culture
2. Nutrient Film Technique
3. Ebb And Flow System
4. Wick System
5. Drip System
6. Aeroponics
Chinese white cabbage or also known as 'pechay' is very popular in almost all of households in the Phillipines. Pechay is easy to grow and very well recommended for those starting to grow their own vegetables. Pechay is normally harvested in about 30 - 45 days, but in this video, we can say that we can harvest our produce in as early as 24 days, from seed to harvest.
